Pri rekapitulácii minulého roku sme dúfali, že pandemický rok 2020 bol jednorazovým vychýlením. 2021 ukázal, že "nový normál" tu s nami ešte chvíľu pobudne. Hudobná scéna na zmenu podmienok zareagovala rozlične: dalo by sa povedať, že Kanaďania ARCHSPIRE namiešali dokonalý koktejl agresivity, zúrivosti, doplnení slušnou dávkou melodiky a snáď aj humoru či optimizmu. Neobvykle konsenzuálna prvá priečka vo výročnom rebríčku im patrí zaslúžene.
